"When we were able to pick her up, wrap her up, get her a little warm, I was able to talk to her a little bit," Forsyth Sheriff's Deputy Terry Roper, who was the first to the scene, told "Good Morning America" on Wednesday.

"I wanted to give her comfort," he said. "A little bit later I realized it was the first time she had felt love, and I felt honored to be able to give her that."

This photo released by the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office shows a newborn baby girl found alive in a plastic bag in a wooded area in Cumming, Ga., by Forsyth County deputies Thursday, June 6, 2019.

"To hear a noise that is a considerable distance from their home, that this baby can cry this loud while being tied up in a plastic bag ... to think they actually went and took the time to go investigate this," Freeman told "GMA" on Wednesday. "Without them, this is an entirely different and much more tragic story."

But the sheriff said he still needs to know who left the baby and why.

"Whoever left this child there did not leave this child with the intent of it being found," Freeman said. "We need the public's help ... somebody knows something about Baby India."

Sheriff Ron Freeman of the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office speaks at a press conference regarding an infant that was found in Georgia, June 7, 2019.

The sheriff's office on Tuesday released some body camera footage from the scene in the hopes of getting information on India's identity.

In the video, the crying baby is heard as responders rush to help. The deputies take her out of the plastic bag and scoop her up into a makeshift blanket as little India wraps her hand around an officer's finger.

Anyone with information about Baby India's identity is asked to call the tip line at 770-888-7308.

Georgia's Safe Haven Law allows a mother up to 30 days after birth to leave a baby with an individual at a hospital, a fire station, a police station or sheriff's station, the sheriff said.
